First, a romance disapproved by her parents, but leading to the
greatest love Angelica Amante has known. Then the reader
wept with Angelica and Antonio as they struggled through their
early marriage and the certainty that their first born child will
have birth defects. In all this their faith has grown.
Now, in this third book of the Regalo Grande series Nikki Arana
takes us once again into the lives of this couple, the beautiful
attorney and daughter of wealthy California doctor and a
Mexican immigrant who has worked to establish a successful
landscaping business, understand a complicated language like
English, and maintain the care and nurture of his family whom
God has given him.
When Angela and Antonio learn the twelve-year old son’s
leukemia has returned, Antonio goes to Mexico in search of a
compatible donor. Angelica remains behind to hold the family
together. When her father announces he must sell the ranch to
stave off bankruptcy, Angelica feels another part of her heart
being ripped away.
Can this family survive yet another threat against the love and
faith that binds them?
Nikki Arana has done a superlative job in presenting the
heartache facing parents of a dying child, their desperation,
and of the God who loves all affected. A must read.
